John,

How about separating it into two fields for input - <input username> @ <input company.com> - then you could designate the pre-filled value for xyzcompany.com in the second field, leaving the first one blank. That removes the need to figure out the tab/cursor/highlighted question and makes it easy to leave/change the back half of the email address. Then just reassemble it and validate it on submit.

Hope that helps - it's simpler, and I like simple...

Jason

Hi All,

Sorry for the off-topic post, folks, but I have one that I have been scratching my brain over for the past couple of days. Might not be possible to do...

I have a form for a company that they will be using internally. I need to have two things happen. First is to focus the cursor to the first field (name) when the page loads. That's the easy part. One of the fields has the value set to @xyzcompany.com (email) so all they have to do is fill in their user name. The company also wants the user to be able to change this field to other email domains as well so hard cosing it is not an option. When tabbing from one field to the next, when you tab to the email field, it highlights the text in that field (as it should, I assume). Is there a way to place the cursor before the text on tabbing instead of highlighting the text for editing?

I hope I am clear in my question.

Thanks!
